As Monster Hunter Wilds rises to some absolutely absurd popularity, and the game’s most tryhard of tryhards get to grips with its armoury of systems, the playerbase has already shifted over from ‘how do I hunt monsters?’ to ‘how do I hunt these monsters in the most stylish, braggadocious way possible?’

Alma’s got my back.
